Jag vet inte varför, albumet känns nytt, men nytt på ett traditionellt sätt - Nick Cave<br/><br/>"Push the Sky Away" är ett naturalistiskt album som med en subtil skönhet bygger på moderna myter och nutida kulturella referenser. Nick Cave skapade albumet under ett års tid där han hämtade inspiration från det liv han observerat från sitt hus vid havet. Låtarna tog form genom noteringar i en anspråkslös anteckningsbok. Boken blev en värdefull artefakt i skapandet, men internets digitala uppslagsverk var en minst lika viktig ingrediens för Cave. <br/>Hur fenomen som Google och Wikipedia förmedlar kuriosa och anekdoter, hur dessa färgar vår historia, och om vad som sedermera hålls som vedertagna sanningar.<br/><br/>"Push the Sky Away" präglas av en vägran att acceptera begränsningar, oavsett om dessa kommer från musikaliska normer eller lyriska förpliktelser.<br/><br/>Albumet, som är producerat av Nick Launay och inspelat på La Fabrique i södra Frankrike, är Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds femtonde studioalbum.
